I cannot tell you how bad this is. No let me tell you, it's as bad as Donald Trump's hair.. Need I say more (

BTRIPP's review of Dave Barry's "Dave Barry's History of the Millennium (So Far)" (681 words)

BTRIPP | Aug 23, 2011 |

This is a compilation of Dave Barry's annual "Year in Review" columns from 2000 to 2007 (with a bonus section on Y1K). As always, he hits the nail right on the head. If you're a fan (as I am) and you look forward to his Year in Review column every year, you'll enjoy this re-read of 8 years in a row. Good fun! (

This is a collection of his year end overviews written in his usual manner. Also includes a "catch-up" section to cover the first millennium! Funny as usual and a quick read. (

This little number comprises Dave's year-end summaries (i.e. some of his very best work) from 2000-2006, plus an amusing rundown of that other millenium, i.e. the one from 1000-1999.

Although I'd read all of the yearly columns when they'd been published, I still enjoyed the chance to go through them in order. Yes, there's a patten Barry follows each year (a formula, if you're being picky), but his ability to revivify this form year after year is genius.

This book would be a great gift for Dave Barry fans. (

As Abraham Lincoln once said, "Journalism is the first draft of history." (Foreword)

And so we stand together—the human race, plus the members of Limp Bizkit—poised on the brink of the year 2000.
